Teen Titans- Chapter 10
Disclaimer: Of course I don't own the Teen Titans. I wish I did… but I don't. Nor do I own a... oh boy. I'm actually out of things to say... WAIT! I don't own a mysterious briefcase like Robin does. Although, I do despretely wish to see what's inside. People want to know. So I suggest, bring it back for another... few seasons. To tie some ends. Like *sudders* Terra, and Raven + Beast Boy. That's definently gotta be finished.
Wow, I'm terribely sorry for not updating. I'm in the hospital. I took a puck to the chest in my game the other day (I play Ice hockey as a goalie) and broke 3 ribs. One of them grazed a lung! How fricken ironic... ANYWAYS! Everyday that this chapter hasn't been up, I've been writing it. It's really hard to sit upright, let alone stay concoius. So if you find some mistakes, please pardon them. Or if you don't think it's written well enough. I will eventually come back and revise it, so bear with me. Thanks. Sequel being thought out now... that's all. Here's a list of awesome reviewers!

I really thank you for all your reviews! They really mean a lot. Escesically in this time for me. I should be recovered in around 4 to 5 weeks. But maybe... I can go home soon... But enough of me! Here's why your here (hopefully), CHAPTER uh, 10!
"Beast Boy. I'm... glad your awake. You saved my life, I want to tell you something now. No. Ugh. I can't get this to save my life." Raven got out of her meditation pose in exhasperation. For the past few hours, she'd been practice how to confess her feelings for the injuried emerald teen. But no matter how she said it, it all sounded the same. Her payment for debt. It sounded hypocritical to her. Going out with him because he saved her life.
"I could ask Starfire..." She said slowly. The reprocussions were about as equal as the rewards of this.
'The pros? She helps me and I confide in Beast Boy in a sincere way. The cons? She trys to find out who, tells the team, and I become the laughing stock.''Yes, but eventually, the Titans will have to know. You can't hide that forever.' Wisdom spoke out. This was different. Normally it was Knowledge pointing out the obvious.
'*Sigh* Yes. It is normally Knowledge. However, she must help with the ongoing events. She can soothe Happy and Love better then anyone else can.''Oh. Well, despite that, you are wrong. I CAN infact hide our relationship. It is quite possible to hide forever.'
'Ah, but WITH Beast Boy's cooperation? Will he be truely willing to hide that for so long? Or insulted? That you do not wish to show off your love to anyone? You must take in his feelings too.'
'Then, well... fine. Another con. Starfire may give bad advice.'
'Well if that were true, why would she be with Robin already?'
'Because he likes her style, and how she is.'
'And is that not what your attempting to accomplish? Besides, she will only give you advice. Even if she trys to change you, in the end, it's how you decide to pursue that will make the difference. Your decisions. Not hers. Not Robins. Not even my own.'
'But! Your my emotions! Aren't you going to be right there?''Yes. But you will not recieve the oppertunity to listen, as you will be focused solely on him.''Interrupting me hasn't been a problem for you before...' Raven grumbled. Obviously this arguement wasn't going her way. Nor did the one with Rude earlier. Then again, it's hard to argue with one's true thoughts.
'Any other reasons not to ask Starfire? Because I see none. Although it IS pointless in my opinion. You won't listen anyways.''Must run within me... here is one last reason... I may be rejected. I may be hurt... beyond fixing this time...' Raven slowly finished. This wasn't a problem that Starfire may induce. It was one that the whole situation had.
'And yet we both know. The truth. He will not reject you.''HOW DO YOU KNOW? HOW ARE YOU SO SURE? YOU ONLY KNOW...''What you know,''Fine. I shall go and approach Starfire.'Raven opened her eyes and left Wisdom's voice in the back of her mind. If she could she Wisdom, she would've seen her small smile.
Starfire was grooming Silke when she heard someone at her door. She set Silke down on her comforter, and approached the sound. Another near silent knock rang out to the young Tameranian princess.
"Yes?" She opened the door to reveal a blue-cladded figure with her eyes hidden from sight. "RAVEN! Please, come in! I was only grooming Silke!"
'How exactly you groom a near bald worm, I'll never know...' Raven carefully walked in. Although it was much cleaner then Beast Boy's or Cyborg's, it was still messier then her's. Only a few stray clothes laid on the floor. Most likely due to the hardships of the injury of Beast Boy. Though it was far from needing to be cleaned.
"Are you in need of the girl talk?" Raven assumed that this was basically the time to ask.
"Y-yes. I am. I actually had a question for you, if you didn't mind answering it..."
"Please ask! I, too, have a question for you. But I am unsure if you are willing to answer." Whatever it was, Raven picked up strange traces of nervousness from Starfire.
'That certainly isn't natural'
"Okay. Then perhaps we can make a deal. I ask mine and you answer, then you ask yours and I answer. Deal?" Raven said, satisfied with that. This way, Starfire could ask hers without worry of Raven not answering. And all traces of nervousness disappered in seconds.
"Very well! You shall go first, is that okay?" And there is was obvious that Starfire wasn't well informed of Earth deals. Normally, she didn't have to ask if it was okay for the OTHER person to go first. And sometimes there would be a minor scuffle. But apparently, that would not be the case.
"Um, okay. Well, uh, you... are dating Robin, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, uh... did you tell him, or did he tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"How he felt."
"Felt about what?"
"..."
'You've GOT to be kidding me.'Felt about you! How Robin felt about you!" Raven was almost ready to lash out, but barely restrainded herself. She really didn't want to hurt Starfire's feelings, but was getting worn out by her tendency to forget the obvious.
"
"Oh!" Starfire looked up, trying to remember, though, how you forget how you confessed you love for someone?
"Well... neither of us really 'confessed'. We just talked. I reassured him, and we ended up 'snaring up'!" Raven sighed, then did something she knew she'd regret.
"Starfire, it's 'hooking up'. Not snaring." Starfire just looked at her confused.
"I do not understand. What does a fishing item have to do with love?"
"It's a sa- nevermind. Just, ask your question."
"Okay. I have noticed that in the past, and recently you have acted, oh how should I say, differently around Beast Boy. And I was wondering, if perhaps you had feelings for him?" Raven was glad her hood was up, because she blushed hard. Then, she used her automatic answer to anything that related to feelings.
"No Starfire. It's just a coincidence." Raven hoped that Starfire would buy that lie.
"Oh. Okay... just to be sure, you are answering my question sincerly, correct? Because yours too, was a personal one." Raven knew that although Starfire wasn't letting on, she knew she was lying. Also, Raven felt a tinge of guilt for lying, because Starfire responded without really doubting anything. She didn't want to mask her feelings. And truthfully, it was a deep personal affair that Raven intruded on. She sighed and turned to face Starfire again.
"Okay. Truthfully... yes I do. I'm not pegging it as love! But I do feel... different around him." Starfire's face lit up when she heard this. She was also doing her best to hide a triumpent grin that would appear soon.
"I figured so. Tamerianeans are very... close in noting emotional tension or change around someone. Much as I noted Robin's, I have noted yours. And it was quite clear that you were different around him. Although I sense no emotions like you, I knew you were pushing him away. To keep him from dropping for you too." Raven decided to pass off the mistake in expressions. Mostly because Starfire was... completely right.
She WAS trying to keep Beast Boy away. Trying not to fall for him. Not for him to fall for her. But in the end, she failed at that.
'But I will not fail at this.'
'Mostly because you can't. I've told you before. So I don't need to explain again.'
'Told you that you can interrupt whatever you want...'
"Okay. Well, good-bye Starfire. I better be going. I must... meditate."
"Very well. I am glad we talked! I shall return to the grooming of Silke." Raven gave a faint smile that only Beast Boy could pick up with his hightened senses. She left the room, then her next big dilema came to the fore-front. What to do next?
"Perhaps I should check on Beast Boy. See how he is doing." Raven said, decided that to be the best thing to do. She floated off the Med Lab, hoping not to walk in on Cyborg and Bee in another Make-Out session.
While Raven went to talk to Star, Cyborg and Bee were having a session, but both tired out after nearly 2 hours of making out.
"Whew. Nice stamina... Sparky."
"Not too... bad yourself..." (No, nothing BAD was going on. Gosh... clear your minds... unless you want to think that way. Cause it is T after all...)
Cyborg got up, and opened the curtains to Beast Boy. His body was a pale green as opposed to his normal lush, leafy green. And Cyborg was glad his eyes weren't open, otherwise he might see... nothing. No life, no gleam, no spark. Nothing they'd come to expect from the Jade Jokester.
'Heh, better tell him that one when he wakes.' Cyborg managed to laugh for the first time in days with his new little title for the grass stain.
"You said he's going to be alright?" Bee's concerned voice snapped him out of his reviere.
"Ya, he just needs to snap outta' this coma. Then he'll be up and annoyin' Rae in no time." He chuckled again, and despretretly missed the feeling.
"You know? I think she's crushin on him. She told me that she cared for him and that no one had ever done something like what he did ever before."
"Ya. Rae's had a hard past. And we know next to nothing about BB's. All we know, was it wasn't easy. He made THAT perfectly clear with Rob."
Both of them were silent for a few moments, looking at the injuried teammate laying on the hospital bed. Then, it was disrupted by a wreaking sobbing noise. Bee looked over at Cyborg and saw he was suppressing sobs.
"H-he doesn't deserve this. Any of this. H-h-he's had a hard enough life as is. Why? Why must he be out down, and out like this?" Bee just held his tremendous frame in her much smaller one.
"Shh. It's okay. He's gonna be fine. You said it yourself. And we trust you."
"I-I said what I thought. Nothing is e-ever certain."
"Yes. Nothing. 'Cept this. Trust ME. He'll be fine."
Cyborg dried up his tears and spoke out.
"Wow, some man I am... cryin' n blubberin."
"And there's nothin wrong with that. It shows that your an amazin friend towards the little guy. He'd be touched if he saw. And he will. But nobody is impervious to emotions. Not even Rae. She shows em too. And there's nothing wrong with that."
"Thanks Bee. And you're right. He will be up. And I'll be there to greet him back."
They smiled at each other, and Cyborg looked down at his friend again. He saw a small spot on his robe where he must have cried on him. But he noticed one other thing.
That his skin seemed just a tad more green.
Done. I threw in something at the end with the tears cause it seemed good. Well, I'm out again. And also, I'm thinkin of sequel ideas so be ready! See ya round! (Oh boy I hope I'm better soon)
